The project is a facade renovation for a shopping mall for selling clothes. The original facade lacks any excitement and is not implying the programs of the building. We take inspiration from the texture and the weaving technique of fabric of clothes, and transform the skin into a dynamic, flowing facade. The envelope encloses and protects the activities inside in the same way that the clothes cover and protect the human skin.

The façade is made up of UHPC panels. Different modules are designed and arranged vertically to achieve the undulating effect of the texture. The panels are also integrated with lighting design, which adds an extra layer of charm in the evening.
